The Minister of Works, David Umahi, has likened President
Bola Tinubu to the biblical Joseph the dreamer, praising his boldness in
pursuing and achieving ambitious goals.
Speaking during his ministry’s performance presentation at
the Ministerial Press Briefing in Abuja on Friday, Umahi said he believes God
has enabled President Tinubu to fulfill all his aspirations.
He noted that when the President assigned him the
Lagos-Calabar Coastal Road project, he drew motivation from the Eko Atlantic
project a landmark development credited to Tinubu’s tenure as Governor of Lagos
State from 1999 to 2007.
“Mr President is a man of courage. I call him the Joseph the
dreamer, and God has helped him to make flesh all his dreams. I commend him
very highly,” Umahi said.
Earlier in his presentation, Umahi applauded President
Tinubu for initiating the Sokoto-Badagry road project, which he said was first
envisioned by former President Shehu Shagari nearly 47 years ago.
He stated, “The good news is the Sokoto-Badagry project. It
was a dream of the Shagari administration about 47 years ago. Originally
planned as Badagry to Sokoto, our detribalised President instructed us to
reverse it to Sokoto-Badagry.”
Umahi emphasized that undertaking such a project requires
immense courage and visionary leadership.
The former Ebonyi State Governor also commended Tinubu’s
overall performance since assuming office in May 2023.
“Our GDP is on the rise, inflation is declining, and our
foreign exchange situation is improving,” he said.
“The World Bank has confirmed that we no longer owe them.
Let’s applaud Mr. President a man of exceptional courage.”
